Late World War I Organization
Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a "square division"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 34th Infantry Division's order of battle on March 12, 1918 was as follows:
- 68. Infanterie-Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Graf Werder (4. Rheinisches) Nr. 30
- 4. Magdeburgisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 67
- Königs-Infanterie-Regiment (6. Lothringisches) Nr. 145
- MG-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 44
- 5.Eskadron/Jäger-zu-Pferd-Regiment Nr. 12
